Just to add. Are you sure you really can't find L.E.C? I've answered many people who "swore up and down" they know how to look for it, and then I give instructions, and then they find it.
1) Either have sunlight, or a high lumen application bright white light ready. Important lighting is necessary for this.
2) Use the macro mode or zoom on your phone to get ready to inspect. Or get a loupe.
3) With the magnification and or zoom alongside high powered light, angle the watch around while keeping the light source still and you'll be able to catch glimpses of it.
You are not meant to be able to spot L.E.C with your eyes.
The rest have been covered by members here.
With regards to PR, do a "proper" PR test as suggested. Wind it up fully and then toss it on a winder for 2-3 days. Then when you turn off the winder, start a timer and track how long it takes for the watch to wind down. I guarantee you don't fully wind the watch nor do you move your hand enough to actually charge the watch.
Contrary to proper belief, winding usually only keeps the watch maintaining PR, rarely does it ever "charge" the PR. Most people who work a desk job underestimate how much they actually move their hand during the day to keep the watch powered. Shit, my dad also had the same complaint until I got him a winder to toss the watch on after work and since then his watch keeps full PR.
Lastly, replicas also often have lower PR than 72hrs if you don't service them. My experience with both VS and VR is they go around 60-65hrs. Why? Because they're not lubricated well, causing higher friction, reducing PR. It takes more energy to keep the watch running.
I don't have much else to say except this : if you want to slander a TD, you better come with pictures and evidence and know your shit. These kind of posts and members always write 500 words but 0 pictures.
